Technology Business Management:
The Four Value Conversations CIOs Must Have With Their Businesses

ISBN 978-0-9976127-4-5
Authored by TBM Council's former General Manager and VP of Standards and Education, Todd Tucker, this first-ever book on Technology Business Management shares stories and lessons from hundreds of interviews with CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, and other business-savvy technology leaders; case studies in TBM with leading enterprises like Cisco, First American Financial, eBay, Nationwide Building Society, and Cox Enterprises; and the contributions of TBM Council’s partners (e.g., KPMG, ISG, McKinsey) and founder and technical advisor (Apptio).

The purpose of the book is to educate IT and finance leaders on how they can become better service providers, value partners, and business drivers through the discipline of TBM—including transparency, delivering value for the money, shaping business demand, and governing for value.
